New vintage, 2011 rated: RVF 15/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20 (Bonheur tout de suite)
La Saignée is a pretty rosé that opens with aromas of red berries and spices. Maturing on fine lees gives it fatness, substance and aromatic persistence, making it ideal for serving throughout a meal, with Asian cuisine for example...

Domaine Le Roc
Fronton
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Le Roc is one of Fronton's finest. The range is broad, and the top wines demonstrate with each vintage that Fronton can be born with depth and real ageing potential. Proof of this comes with each new tasting of a wine from the estate over 10 years old, always astonishingly young.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
With the arrival of young Grégoire and Anne Ribes, the Ribes family decided to take over the vineyards of Château Flotis, a neighboring property, where they were already the operators. Its 21 hectares of syrah and négrette on a stony hillside have thus swelled the ranks of Le Roc. The négrettes are always in top form, thanks to meticulous and increasingly modern vinification techniques, giving the wines a radiant profile.
